Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can arise from several factors, including:

1. Injuries
   • Ligament tears (ACL or MCL) caused by sports or accidents.
   • Meniscus tears, where the cartilage cushioning the knee is damaged.
   • Fractures or dislocations due to trauma.
2. Medical Conditions
   • Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, which cause inflammation and joint stiffness.
   • Tendonitis, resulting from repetitive movements or overuse.
   • Bursitis, the swelling of fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee joint.
3. Lifestyle Factors
   • Excessive weight that increases stress on the knee joint.
   • Poor posture or improper exercise techniques.
